Lennon stuns Gunners with late strike

Harry Redknapp's magic touch worked again as Tottenham grabbed a last-gasp equaliser through Aaron Lennon to draw a thrilling clash against Arsenal 4-4 at the Emirates Stadium.

Trailing to David Bentley's stunning opener, Arsenal exposed Spurs' weakness at defending set-pieces to lead through Mikael Silvestre and William Gallas.

Emmanuel Adebayor added his obligatory goal before Darren Bent pulled one back. Robin van Persie netted his 50th goal for Arsenal but Spurs have a new resilience under Redknapp and Jermaine Jenas' late strike gave them hope before Lennon struck at the death.

The visitors went ahead through Bentley's moment of magic as Arsenal failed to clear convincingly from defence and Jenas chested the ball to Bentley, who took one touch to keep the ball in the air before unleashing a 40-yard volley which swerved over Manuel Almunia.

Arsenal levelled from a corner which van Persie swung over and Silvestre headed home as Heurelho Gomes flapped.

And van Persie was involved as the Gunners went ahead, swinging in a free-kick and Gallas climbed above Vedran Corluka at the near post to head home.

And Arsenal doubled their lead when van Persie sent Samir Nasri through to lob Gomes.

The Frenchman thought he had scored but Adebayor beat Alan Hutton to the ball to force it home and make sure.

Bent was sent on and pulled a goal back after Tom Huddlestone's drive was not held cleanly by Almunia, but van Persie restored the two-goal advantage in the next move as Hutton's sloppy pass was picked up by Adebayor, who fed van Persie to lash home.

That looked like game over but Jenas found the top corner with a minute of time remaining, setting up a frantic finale in which Lennon snatched a point with a tap-in after Luka Modric hit the post.
